Customer Reviews for Home Decorators Collection Mocha Cordless Blackout Cellular Shades for Windows - 48 in. W x 48 in. L (Actual Size 47.75 in. W x 48 in. L)

These are most certainly not blackout shades, but they’re easy to install and look good.

These blinds are amazing! I was a little nervous because high quality blinds are usually super expensive but these are exactly what you would spend thousands of dollars on. These are high quality, light weight, the blackout feature is truly blackout, they are super easy to assemble AND the price is very reasonable! Make sure you measure your windows to the exact inch and they will he perfect.

These blinds are junk. They are flimsy and poor quality. The brackets are very weak and difficult to install. I just installed today and hate them. I foresee them falling apart in the near future. Sorry, I would have liked to leave a better review but can't. They run a half an inch small.

I just received my new blind yesterday and installed it today. It was simple to install and looks great! I included two photos because I didn't see too many photos of the "latte" color in the other reviews.

Over priced for a bright room. The light that escapes all around it cancels out the darkening in between. Pointless and useless. Disappointed.

These shades were exactly what I was looking for. The instructions for installation were easy to follow. Installing the shades was very easy and quick. The shades look great and are just what I wanted.

Love these blinds. They keep the heat outside and gives privacy inside your house with a nice light

I have the tools. I have the skill set. I had the patience until I began installing the brackets. I bought 3 of these shades. Only one was I able to install successfully and that was by using another brand’s hardware. Attempting to drill in the screws with the included hardware was like threading a needle with gloves on. There is absolutely no room for a power drill to successfully drill in a 1.25 screw with the hardware without it going in crooked. There is also not enough depth for the drill bit to grip the screw. I finally called it quits on the last two and will use another blind manufacturers hardware. Will not be buying these again.

Easy to install and a great window covering

This was bought for an odd-sized wide but not too high window. After the success with the first blind for a "normal-sized" window, and the impressive mounting brackets and thin top bar, a little measuring found that even with the odd window being so short the new blind would not cover the viewable area when fully retracted. The room-darkening is no joke, as the picture shows. The interior of the cells is literally black. The dark gray works perfectly with my son's choice of light gray walls and the satiny gray curtain panels. The up and down movement is near-effortless. Because of the window handles being vertical I had to space the brackets out from the window frame. Easily done with a stack of regular Lego bricks :-), which happen to be exactly 5/8" wide and provide a smooth surface to ensure all 3 brackets were mounted in precisely the same position. Snapping in the top bar is easy. The one desire is a snap on clear tongue for the bottom rail to make it easier to grasp the bottom rail when it is all the way down. I will happily purchase more of this brand for other rooms and windows as needed.

The shades were quick and easy to install. They are beautiful and look great in my newly repainted room!

Super easy to install and is one of those conveniences that just makes my SO and I giddy! It's so easy and smooth to use and blocks out light exceptionally well! We got it for our living room to get rid of glare on the TV and wow! In the middle of the the day it's almost like being in a movie theater. Yes, light does come in around the edges but a quarter of an inch of light on the right and left is in no way an inconvenience. Especially since we have a portable ac unit that leaves a solid foot of space uncovered. Make sure you measure and measure again before ordering. I almost ordered the wrong length so take your time, slow down, and review your measurements when placing your order.

These blinds were just what we needed. They block out light extremely well, are easy to maneuver up and down and look sleek. You can tell that if they were to be pulled on they would probably break but for a newborn baby room they are excellent.

The install was a breeze! I love these room darkening blinds, absolutely NO light enters the room when they are pulled down and my windows face a blazing hot ‘southern’ sun at the high point of the day. They look great in the room, they are a tad bit thinner than the blinds I bought from a different manufacture bin the other bedrooms but I think these will still be durable. I absolutely would recommend!

Great great buy! Had a hard time finding something blackout to fit some captain's windows that bring in a huge amount of light to our bedroom. Once I figured out how to best hang them, they were very easy to do, seem extremely high quality (especially for the price) and filter the light well. I don't think they're 100% blackout, but they're pretty close. I am extremely happy with the purchase and thinking of buying more for our porch.

The shade is 70” not 72” it’s too short for my door. Just be aware!

Very nice, simplicity, modern look.

We have had our cellular blind for about two months now and it was easy to install and the instructions were clear and easy to understand and finished off our bathroom make over project perfectly. The blind operates with ease and it's so nice to not have to deal with those ugly cords anymore that always seem to get grubby over time. Our blind came with three brackets but since our blind was not very wide or heavy I opted to only use two brackets which worked out just fine. I gave four stars instead of five because once the blind is installed you can see the front edges of the shiny silver brackets which are not visible on the more expensive well known brands, but this is a minor irritation and for the price should not be a deal breaker. Overall we are happy with our purchase and would recommend to anyone looking to smarten up there window opening.

Easy to install. A great product for the price. We used them in our entire house.

I bought these shades for my beach house to block out the sun in my family room in 2 windows that reflected on my TV. I had previously purchased so I knew these were easy to install and great. These look so good, a good price, easy to move up and down, I am very happy with this product.

Love these shades. Easy to install. They are a tight fit but you can get them cut to size at the store. Luckily, I didn't need too. Any light getting through was because my windows aren't perfectly square and level, otherwise total blackout.. Not as expensive as I thought either. Good purchase all around.

Easy to install and perfect fit!

Great shades. They block almost 100% of light. They are a very tight fit. I ordered 11 of them for the whole RV. All look great! I put them up myself and they went in easy with a snap. I love how they go up and down with one hand and no cord. They give me the privacy that I want at night and the beauty of an open sunny window during the day time. I also love the fact that they are white on the outside. Fantastic product that is great for my budget and not complicated to install. And best of all, they were delivered a week earlier than expected.

It went up well, I like how easy it is to use/move up & down, & it looks great!!

These blinds are beautiful and they definitely work on blocking out the light. It did take the better part of a day to put four of them up, as I work slow to make sure the measurements are just right. I was worried about the shadow white not being "true white" but you can see in the pictures that it does look white. The only down side would be that there is not a valance to cover the top rail. But, I like the nice clean lines of this in my window.

Ordered about 10 of these and absolutely love them. Great quality for the price, however 1 of my shades seems to be defective and have been trying to get a replacement for it as I paid almost $100 for it and it’s been very difficult.

Love the way they look and ease of use.

I originally wrote a very positive review of this product (which I would’ve liked to edit now, but was having a hard time finding). We bought these four months ago and I loved them at first. They felt papery but they did a good job blocking light at an affordable price. Fast forward four months and these shades are already starting to fall apart. If you look at the pictures, it’s like a coating or whatever is on the shade is coming off and letting light through. I didn’t catch it at first because the tinier spots don’t show up except for when full sunlight is streaming through. But now that there are bigger spots, it’s become obvious. This is the worst shade of the four we bought. The shades in my kid’s room are beginning to get the pinprick spots as well where the shades crease (I would’ve assumed it was wear and tear from my kids had I not noticed it on mine first). Very disappointed. I knew these wouldn’t last a lifetime for the price, but four months? Even at that price point, it’s a money loss. Looking into any possible warranty options. Next time, we’ll know...

Great shades. They block almost 100% of light. They are a very tight fit. Not sure why they made the bottom bigger than the top, but they all fit. I ordered 9 of them for the whole house. A few had to be pulled all the way open to fit, I guess the windows aren't perfect but they all look great!

We installed these shades in all of our bedrooms, in the family room and on one of the windows in the sunroom that gets really hot. I love three things about them. 1. They're so convenient. No tangled cords. 2. They're attractive. 3. They really keep the sun out when you're trying to sleep. LOVE THEM.
